via readwrite.com

Over the next few years the U.S. Cyber Command, an army of 900 military personnel and civilians who monitor and defend against cyber attacks, is set to grow by 4,000 cyber soldiers. The command will expand its role in national defense by becoming a new kind of fighting force, one that protects the Internet safety of the entire country. As the expansion is implemented, Cybercom will be separated into three teams:

National Mission Forces
Combat Mission Forces
Cyber Protection Forces

This Image of a Soldier Walking On Air Is Simply Awesome

via gizmodo.com

I really like this image of an airman jumping out of a USAF HC-130P/N King cargo aircraft. He really seems to be walking on air, like Wile E. Coyote running off a cliff while chasing the Roadrunner.

He's an airman of the 820th Base Defense Group participating in a static line jump at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, on March 21, 2012.
